Happy 4th, and stuff.

[merimask]

I'm no good to anyone because of the crappy mood I'm in, so I'll just say "Happy Fourth of July" & leave it at that.

Oh.  And I know everyone's probably sick of hearing this (but it's my only "bright" spot so there it is)...I'm just SO freaking pleased with my weight loss.  I dropped 5 pounds just this past week.  I feel like I'm eating all the time, so it must be that fancy Chinese diet tea that's doing the trick.  Probably, cycling 12 miles a day doesn't hurt either.  Today, I found a shirt that I LOVE that's been mocking me...a month ago I couldn't get it over my hips.  Today it is HUGE like a very big comfy tunic and halfway to my knees.  

Yay.

Tell me; if one has to scrape up all the coins in the house & put them in a bag & dump them in the CoinStar machine at the grocery store in order to buy groceries...does that mean the person in question loses at life?  'Cause it sorta feels that way.  :-/

that's what change is for!

Hey, when we had your husband and two others in college (didn't plan it that way, but once your hub got IN we had a helluva time getting him OUT) we would toss bills at the ceiling and pay whichever stuck. It was a time when I really came to appreciate change! Esp quarters! I adore quarters! Dimes and nickels, too. Pennies I tossed in a sack and gave to the church for the CHO (community helping others)campaign. Pennies alone amounted to 93 bucks one year and I had to drag them into the Narthex in a double pillow case (a bank had donated rolling and counting services). Damn near killed myself slinging that baby into and out of the car!

I'm not gonna tell you things will get better. (Somebody told that to somebody else suffering in New Orleans and then Hurricane Katrina hit!) And I'm not gonna preach either. I have way too much respect for you. You know what to do and how to do it.

What I can do is three things: First, you are coming to my hometown, on us, and you are gonna have a blast! On us. When can you and Char come? I know Greg cannot spare a lot of time, but neither can Geoff or David, so Marya and Sandra may come in earlier and you guys should, too! Second, I want you to remember what the guy at the SF Art Gallery said about Gumps. I think he wanted to know if you would be willing to give up some of the work, but not the creativity, and produce some of your designs in limited editions? Signed and numbered. Personally, as you know, I am a sucker for that sort of thing. Third and last, if you can come early pls. consider bringing the stuff you've made that hasn't sold and I swear, we will set up right down near the Wharf on a freakin card table and just start counting the money. If you haven't the nerve for that ... well, you know me.

Eh...I know. Things have been much worse than this in the past. I'm just very worried with taxes coming up & everything. It REALLY depresses me that things looked so great for my career at the beginning of the year, and right now (which is normally my best time of year) everything is totally tanking for me.

lol...we'll get arrested if we try to sell stuff on the street. Pretty sure you need a license for that (you sure do in NY state anyway).
